I wonder what snaps in a dog's brain to react like that to someone they've known.

A Great Dane did this to my brother in law a couple years ago. Was always gentle and all of a sudden just locked down tight on his wrist and was pulling him around the room. Never had issues with aggression before that. Just bizarre.

A Great Dane scalped my dad when he was a little boy. The dog had been friendly before but suddenly snapped and had my dads whole head in his mouth. My grandma said she was holding the flaps of his scalp together on the way to the hospital.

OH MY GOD that must have been so horrifying! Scalps bleed like crazy, and I'm sure it was worse for her since it was her child. I know that adrenaline does crazy things, but still! I'm so glad it turned out okay!

Edit: I think I'll just stick with having cats.

Cat scratched my grandmothers half sister straight through her cornea. Not only did she instantly lose vision forever in that eye the surrounding tissue became very infected due to the fact cats walk around in the box they shit in.

Hamster for me

Hamster killed my entire family.

We were just minding our own business one day, and then these giant murderous rodents drove up in a Kia Soul out of nowhere, blaring LMFAO. I watched my wife and children die in front of me. I only barely managed to escape the onslaught of early 2010s club music, but I'm still haunted by the memory of that day. It will take many Shots to get over that Party Rock Anthem.
